Peurion

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The white wine variety Peurion is an autochthonous variety of the French region Franche-Comté . Before the phylloxera disaster at the end of the 19th century , it was very common there, as monks of the Augustinian order of Val-des-Écoliers near Langres promoted it very much. The variety has almost completely disappeared as it is very susceptible to gray mold rot . It therefore only produces very fluctuating yields.

origin

Based on genetic studies of 322 grape varieties in 1998, it turned out that the varieties Aligoté , Aubin Vert , Auxerrois , Bachet Noir , Beaunoir , Chardonnay , Dameron , Franc Noir de la Haute Saône , Gamay Blanc Gloriod , Gamay , Knipperlé , Melon de Bourgogne , Romorantin , Roublot and Sacy , like the Peurion, all emerged from spontaneous crossings between Pinot and Gouais Blanc. Since the genetic differences between Pinot Blanc , Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are extremely small, an exact specification of the Pinot type is not yet available.

The success of this spontaneous cross is explained by the fact that the two parent varieties are genetically fundamentally different. While the varieties of the Pinot family probably come from Burgundy, the Gouais Blanc was brought to France by the Romans. In the vineyards of Burgundy and southern Champagne , both varieties were mixed together for several centuries .

Lineage: Pinot x Gouais Blanc
